From the Melbourne Times:

Victim of white supremacist abuse returns to join protest chorus
By MARIKA DOBBIN

A LOCAL woman who was intimidated and racially abused by a group of men last month will attend a protest against Neo-Nazism outside a Fitzroy pub.

A coalition of local groups is organising the “peace movement” in response to a Neo-Nazi concert at the Birmingham Hotel on Saturday, September 23, held to commemorate the death of British white supremacist Ian Stuart.

Blondien (not her real name) says she was walking alone to her car on Johnston Street the same night when she was surrounded by about seven men. She says the men screamed abuse at her, calling her a black c..t and forcing her to repeat the insults.

“It’s disgusting that people would single out one person and you have to say stuff about your race to get out of it,” Blondien said.

Music is planned for the protest on Saturday, October 28, at 1pm outside the Birmingham.

Hotel co-owner Gary (who wouldn’t give his surname) said: “I’m not getting involved in someone else’s bullshit.”

…

Protesters at the rally will hand out local flyers about Neo-Nazism and ask shopkeepers to put anti-racism stickers in their windows.

A women’s collective representative helping to organise the event said it was important to send a message that racism was not welcome locally and make the Birmingham accountable.

And from TMT’s metropolis column:

Paling into significance

NEO-NAZIS hate a lot of people, communists in particular.

So it is no surprise that Socialist-about-town Steve Jolly is particularly reviled by local Nazis, especially given his comments in our article three weeks ago about their get-together concert at the Birmingham Hotel in Fitzroy. Jolly’s gripes that Neo-Nazi groups were “dangerous fruitcakes” and into “genocide politics” have provoked angry responses on white nationalists’ internet chat sites.

One furious chatter from NSW posted the councillor’s photograph on the site and labelled him Steve “I never get out in the sun much” Jolly, referring to his pasty complexion.

“Contact the healthy looking, ruddy-cheeked councillor” the chatter sarcastically implores his fascist mates.

Jolly certainly is pale, but Metropolis is confused, isn’t a porcelain skin a plus in Neo-Nazi-land?
